From what I recall, you do not need to provide beneficiary education history, only address and employment. If you have worked as a freelancer, this is self employment so you should put the date you started doing that (an estimate if you can't recall an exact date) and when you finished (in the first box used for current employment if it is still ongoing).

You haven't even talked and are querying visa processes? What if the process takes longer than you'd prefer? Would you still be interested or move your view to a country with a shorter time frame? USCIS aren't concerned with outdated and abusive customs. It takes as long as it takes. -
My point is that FLR is for people wanting to remain in the UK, but that isn't the case for your partner. You can always request a transfer to your partner's home embassy. I won't comment on what should or shouldn't be said. If needed, he should tell the truth about the situation.

He shouldn't overstay on an expired student visa to wait for the interview, but has a right to stay as ling as the FLR application is submitted before the visa expiry. If its in process when the interview is scheduled, I don't see how that in itself would negatively affect things but I can imagine queries regarding intent to stay in the UK and intent to move to the US.

Refused doesn't mean denied. Denied means denied. This is what happens when you're in AP. It will change to approved once they're happy, and then shortly after that it will change to issued.

K1 Fiance Visa. Relationship Proof
smilingstone replied to Tiny Cat's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
We submitted one picture. For my interview I had more pictures taken since the initial filing but I wasn't asked for it. I was approved on the spot. All advice here is valid but ultimately pictures are secondary evidence as the dates cannot be proven (USCIS do not concern themselves with EXIF data). Your primary evidence is passport stamps, boarding passes, travel itineraries, accommodation booked in both names, etc. -
Helping with childcare isn't the purpose of a tourist visa. Good luck!
-
If you intend to file when you are in the US, then you complete that section when you are in the US. It doesn't matter if you think you won't be there when they see the form. Information needs to be accurate at time of filing. Why wait until your next visit to file? As long as your petition is complete, I see no logic in delaying it further.

birth certificate for i-129F
smilingstone replied to puffy4bunny's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
On the I-129F I put my mother's current legal name. This name differs from her maiden name and her previous married name, as she divorced my father and remarried. My birth certificate shows her maiden name (and also misspelled my father's name). I didn't think twice about it, I just gave current factual information. You just put their current legal names. It is reasonable to understand that since your birth, things change. You don't have to evidence anything to do with your parent's relationships. -
US passport isn't needed. My fiancé (USC) only included a copy of his birth cert. He doesn't have a passport either. You have nothing to worry about.
-
2 weeks is too soon to be concerned. It took us nearly 2 months from NOA2 to Embassy. Be patient.
-
We didn't include any evidence of call logs, only texts (and even then they only spanned across the previous 4 to 6 months, despite being in a relationship for ~5 years at time of filing). As others note, you should be focusing on evidencing physical time together over anything else.
-
This, but be prepared for extra scrutiny. These agencies cause more problems than they solve. It sounds like they did this intentionally to extend the duration of your relationship, possibly to give it more credibility. But this could be construed as misrepresentation.
-
Way too early to be concerned. My CEAC tracker showed as "Ready" until days later, to which it changed to "Approved" and some days later changed to "Issued." It took around 1 week total, a little more if you include the time to receive my passport and visa. Did you get verbal approval on the day? Now that it's Saturday, don't expect any updates until Monday at the earliest. They are human beings and admin can take time, dependent on individual workloads. Good luck!

Woops, you posted in China.
